What I think is really funny is trying to explain this entire thing to someone living twenty years ago.
"Everybody has a computer in their home. One with um, one of those modem things, only much faster, of course, and they talk to people all over the world with it. And for people in their teens and twenties, knitting is a really cool hobby, and they use their computers to have gigantic knitting wars via the mail."
I mean, as crazy as Snow Crash was, it didn't get that crazy!
